Did you know that the discussion of the right-hand door is back on?
posted: Oct 11th, 2010 A new round of discussion has resumed over an old topic. The related event is still two years away, however, the timing is crucial, as the topic is very important for the main actors in the show - the teams and competitors who will attend the next World Championship of Formation Skydiving in 2012. The topic is once again the aircraft for the Formation Skydiving events at the next world meet. It has often and widely been discussed in the past, and it comes back up for a simple reason. There is a possibility that teams and competitors may have to change their training plans as dramatically as... (more)

Did you know that Mathieu Bernier has won six medals in the last four world meets?
posted: Oct 9th, 2010 Several competitors have tried it in the past, some of them a few times, and some came close. There is only one who finally made it. Aerodyne Cypres Maubeuge member Mathieu Bernier is the first and only competitor who won two gold medals at the same World Meet, one in 4-way and another one in 8-way at the World Championship of Formation Skydiving 2010. It was a unique project. Usually, the previous attempts were done by complete 4-way lineups who also competed in 8-way. There were a few exceptions where 8-way had priority, and a 4-way lineup also competed at the same World Meet. The Golden... (more)

Did you know that the ArchRivals are the US Rookie Class team of the year?
posted: Oct 8th, 2010 Two US teams are currently tied in 1st place for the honor of the busiest Rookie Class team in 2010. The regular season is over for the ArchRivals in the Midwest Skydiving League, while the Miami Dropouts have one more opportunity to get meet practice before the NSL Championship concludes the 2010 season at SkyQuest in November. The ArchRivals will win the unofficial title of the Rookie Class season of the year, whether the Dropouts will attend another meet or not. The Miami team has scored a little bit higher and and surely deserves the same recognition, but there is one little difference that... (more)

Did you know that Fallout may have another go for the Advanced Class top spot?
posted: Oct 7th, 2010 The NSL News goes back to the USPA Nationals 2010 and the coverage of the Advanced Class competition. The story on 11 September 2010 had the defending champions as the topic, the SDC Furies, who were not eligible to compete again for USPA Advanced Class medals. The story on 20 September 2010 followed up with the new Advanced Class champion, Carolina Turbo XP. Turbo won on a scoring and performance level that was far beyond the winning average of 2009 and all other Advanced Class teams this year. The 14.5 average beat the Golden Knights Black lineup in the Open Class and was very close to... (more)

posted: Oct 6th, 2010 Die NSL News story on 4 August 2010 was still coming from Menzlinsk in Russia, as a part of the live coverage of the World Championship of Formation Skydiving 2010.

Another story on 4 August 2010 followed up with the videos of Round 4. Then came a break, until the story on 10 August 2010 featured the 8-way videos of Round 10. The meet was realistically over by then, as France... (more)

Did you know that the skydiving world suffers a great loss: Fiona McEachern?
posted: Oct 5th, 2010 The 25th of September was not a good day for the Formation Skydiving community. Sad news came from Australia. Fiona McEachern, Chair of IPC's Formation Skydiving Committee, died after a midair collision that day. The NSL News audience is familiar with Fiona McEachern's activities for the sport, as updates of rules and relevant information have been provided by her in the last decade. Many NSL News stories were based on information that came from Australia and directly from Fiona McEachern. Her competitive career began early, and she won a medal for Australia at the first female 4-way... (more)
